Public School Cricket 98 Public School Cricket. HE high and far-off times of Public School cricket began in 1858, when Geelong Grammar School played Scotch College T twice and Melbourne Grammar School once. The first Public School match was played on the Geelong ground on 26th February, 1858, when Scotch beat Geelong Grammar by 14 runs. The scores were not very high, Scotch making 48 and 80, and Geelong Grammar School 67 and 47. The chief contributor to the Scotch victory was Macpherson (afterwards Hon. James Macpherson, M.L.C.), who made 20 in the first innings and 42 not out in the second, besides taking seven wickets in the two. Other notable names in the Scotch team were those of Dan. Wilkie, D. Ogilvy (who took 13 wickets for about 50 runs), and J. Conway, who later on, while at Melbourne Grammar, played for Victoria as a school boy, and was afterwards manager of the first Australian team in 1878. Conway was an uncle of our Syd. Donahoo, who, in his turn, was picked to play for Victoria while still at school, uncle and nephew being the only ones to achieve this distinction. The return match between Scotch College and Geelong Gram­ mar School was played on the M.CC ground on, 20th November, and was declared a draw, it having been arranged that the match should be drawn if not played out. The scores were:—Geelong Grammar School 41 and 85, Scotch College 53 and 22 for 7 wickets; Scotch College had 52 runs to get and only three wickets to fall. In their second innings George Tait took 4 wickets at apparently small cost. For Scotch, D. Ogilvy was again the chief bowler, but Macpherson, their champion batsman, had the misfortune to be knocked out by sunstroke owing to the; extreme heat of the day. Meanwhile, the day before Geelong Grammar School and Melbourne Grammar School had met for the first time. This game was also played on the M.CC ground. Melbourne Grammar School made 78 and 102; Geelong Grammar School 83 and 3 for 27. Geelong Grammar School claimed a win on the first innings by 5 runs; Melbourne Grammar School claimed a draw. A referee was then appointed, whose decision gave Geelong Gram­ mar School the match. These Schools did not meet aeain until 1875. The first match between Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College took place in the Richmond paddock on the 24th .

  • Masters Considered a Report That After the Matches, Xavier College V. Scotch College, and Wesley College V
    ADAMSON IN PUBLIC LIFE 181 also prohibited. At the end of August, 1917, the Head­ masters considered a report that after the matches, Xavier College V. Scotch College, and Wesley College v. Melbourne Grammar School, on the previous week "war cries" had been used. On the evidence it appeared that the Wesley "war cry" had been used by a number of boys from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School. The Headmasters considered that the use of "war cries" constituted a "regrettable inci- dens", and a resolution was carried that as "war cries" were used at and after two recent football matches, and there were gatherings of boys to shout at each other after these matches, thus constituting "regrettable incidents", the Pub­ lic Schools competitions for the remainder of the year were suspended. The effect of this was that there were no com­ bined sports in 1917, and no cricket premiership. As soon as the Third Term commenced the captains of the six Associated Public Schools held a meeting, and sent a letter to the Headmasters, asking if under certain condi­ tions and under certain guarantees for the future the com­ petitions might be allowed to proceed. The Headmasters held a special meeting on 22nd Sep­ tember to consider this letter, and finally instructed the Hon. Secretary of the Headmasters to write to the Captains of the Public Schools in the following terms:— "The Headmasters regret that they cannot see their way to alter their decision of 30th August, but they fully appreciate the good motives which prompted the action of the Captains, and consider that had such a letter been re­ ceived before the meeting of 30th August, it might have materially influenced their attitude." The opinion was expressed that the meeting of the Pub­ lic School Captains to discuss matters concerning the general welfare of the schools was an excellent innovation, likely to have a far-reaching influence for good in the future.

  • School Performance Information 2017
    SCHOOL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION 2017 As part of the compliance requirements of the Australian Government’s Schools Assistance Regulations 2009 (made under the Schools Assistance Act 2008), all schools are required to ensure that School Performance Information is made publicly available as stipulated by subsection 21 (2) of the Act. 1. CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOL Geelong Grammar School is an independent Anglican co-educational boarding and day school. From its origins in 1855, the School has always had a distinctive character. After outgrowing several Geelong locations the School moved to a 245-hectare site on the edge of Corio Bay in 1914, creating the unique learning and living environment that exists today. In 1953 it established Timbertop, a remote campus in the foothills of the Victorian Alps inspired by the philosophies of German educator Kurt Hahn. Timbertop provides the School’s Year 9 students with a full school year living, working and studying in the Australian bush, where they connect to their personal strengths, develop confidence and learn the value of co-operative endeavour. The School became co-educational in the early 1970s, enabling boys and girls to live and learn alongside each other. In 2009, it introduced its transformational Positive Education programme. Developed from the science of Positive Psychology in collaboration with Professor Martin Seligman and his team from the University of Pennsylvania, Positive Education focuses on social and emotional wellbeing, encouraging students to find purpose and lead engaged and meaningful lives. Positive Education is taught at each year level, at every campus and across all aspects of school life.
